The museum comprises of five themed areas, namely the Place of Peace, the Place of Harmony, the Place of Prosperity, the Place of Hope and the Place of Glory, all of which offer visitors a glimpse of the glory of the Seoul Olympics.

While Muslims visiting the Olympic Park may not be able to find prayer facilities, they will be able to locate numerous mosques in the city of Seoul, such as the Seoul Central Mosque. Muslim visitors will also be able to find plenty of secluded areas within the park to offer their prayers.
Visitors to the Olympic Park will find several cafés within the attraction. Muslim tourists will however have to make sure the items they order are suitable, as non-Halal ingredients are sure to be widely used. They could dine on seafood or vegetarian dishes here, or they could visit one of the many Halal restaurants in the city of Seoul.
